Liverpool FC have issued an official statement on their club website announcing an end to their proposed plans that had been put in place to partake in the European Super League.
The Reds had declared their entry into the new breakaway competition as a founding member through a joint statement drafted alongside the remaining 11 founding clubs last weekend but the public momentum had gone against the football clubs in the subsequent days over the formation of the Super League.
Liverpool thank stakeholders as Premier League clubs exit Super League
In the statement put out Tuesday, Liverpool FC have expressed gratitude towards the club’s internal and external stakeholders for their contributions over the past few days.
Roman Abramovich decided Chelsea could not go ahead with joining the ESL and, together with the board, he gave the green light for the club to start preparing documentation to pull out.

All six of the Premier League sides that had previously announced their foray into the Super League have now declared themselves out of the running to take part in the competition with Chelsea leading the line in staging the withdrawal process amongst England’s biggest football outfits.
Drama unfolded over the past few days owing to the Super League announcement
Anfield icon Jamie Carragher had been on the forefront in accusing his former club of putting money above fans upon the Reds joining the now-suspended European Super League in the capacity of a founding member.
Jurgen Klopp and Gary Neville had also sparred in a heavy exchange of words with the latter being quite critical of Liverpool FC and Manchester United deciding to take part in the breakaway competition.
